At the table
Clarias magur is eaten in Bangladesh and West Bengal as magur curry (Bengali: মাগুর মাছের ঝোল), and is considered good during illness, particularly for body weakness. It is prepared in a light curry sauce with coriander powder and cinnamon powder. It reportedly is fed to children to develop body strength. In Karnataka, C. magur is called murgodu (ಮುರ್ಗೋಡು). In coastal Karnataka, it is called mugudu ಮುಗುಡು, In Manipur, it is called nga-kra and is considered a delicacy.
